If you ask six-year-old Ratul (name changed on request) about his favourite pastime activity, the boy has a ready answer. “I just love playing kabaddi,” he says with enthusiasm. The reason, according to him, is simple and straight. “Nobody can beat me in this game,” declares the little man with a proud smile.
His friends do not disagree though. “But there are other sports to play and they have other champions here,” quip a few, trying to tease the kabaddi pro among them. Kabaddi, cricket, football — you name it and up go a few hands among this bunch of young and confident athletes.
